Bonfire is a Fediverse project that aims to store your social data on a physical device that you own (for example a Raspberry Pi running Bonfire software). It will also operate offline if preferred.

It's still in development, but you can follow the project at:

➡️ @bonfire

The new official website is at https://bonfirenetworks.org

(It was previously known as CommonsPub.)

@mayel @rysiek @tcit @karen @bonfire I noticed the #CommonsPub project before I liked the idea of a general-purpose #ActivityPub server. Especially as it could serve as a base for more specific servers by having plug-in support etc. I see now that CommonsPub is being reactores into the Bonfire ecosystem. What does that mean? For the CommonsPub project in particular..
We have decided to retire #CommonsPub as a project name and to focus in on @bonfire instead. Please follow us there or visit http://bonfire.cafe to learn more

ActivityPub gave us interoperability at the data level, and we’d like to do the same on the software level with CommonsPub …

CommonsPub has chosen Postgresql as the default database for building ActivityPub applications.

There's another speaker at the same conference complaining about performance of #diaspora* with RDBMS. He created an #ActivityPub project called #Mammoth which uses #CouchDB.

#CommonsPub is storing JSON objects in #Postgresql DB which is also what Mammoth is doing. So, will there be much difference if using a NoSQL DB?
